Wear masks while inside the convention center not just panels We would have some rules to follow that we all agreed to follow. ![]() Hoping to see if it would be possible to attend and still be safe. We decided to do the “anime convention sort of scientific experiment” before the convention in which some of us would go as press and others would go as general attendees to see if it would be possible to attend a fully sold-out convention that is known for its shoulder to shoulder rooms and high temperatures even inside. We have come out with negative results, we are vaccinated and do encourage people to get vaccinated and also wear a mask while in a crowd or within six feet of others. Our staff has attended Pax West in 2021, Fanime 2021, Wondercon 2022, and OffKai Expo 2022 just to name a few. Some even blamed the convention for not having stricter policies in place, some even asked if it is possible to go to a convention and be 100% safe.īeing a staffer for this outlet I can tell you that I and a fellow staffer have gone to other conventions and we have seen strict policies being followed and at times totally ignored. After this social media was blasted with mixed comments, some concerned saying they wish those infected a speedy recovery, while others share other ideas saying attendees didn’t protect themselves in offsite con events and therefore not protecting other con-goers. ![]() Yet the issue is after the conventions are over some came and went without any positive cases but some like Pax East had some coverage with high numbers of infected attendees taking to social media to report their positive results and even a death of a staffer who came down with covid. ![]() Anime Expo isn’t the first convention to return to physical attendance.
